I wanted to do a complete step by step pictorial, but this site only allows 5 photos per post.

Anyway, in addition to the tacticool parts kit ($142), you will need a pair of takeoff M4 handguards ($20 on ebay) and

front sight post
front sight post spring
front sight post detent
front sling swivel
front sling swivel rivet

($20 shipped from Midway).

To match my Colt, I opted for a carry handle made in USA by Standard Manufacturing ($50 shipped). Vastly superior to cheapo Chinese NCStar airsoft stuff. I wouldn’t hesitate to put it on a real AR.

So for a bit over $200, it now works like, feels like, and looks like a Colt LE6920.

That is very cool. Nicely done.

Agreed…very cool!

How did you install the front sight

The Tacticool kit comes with a front sight made for the job. It has no holes for taper pins. Instead, you attach it to the barrel with included set screws. And there’s a bolt that holds the end cap on, in place of the non-existent gas tube, so the handguards can stay on.
